On this week's All Songs Considered, we check back on our running list of the year's best songs, with a sweet reflection on lost time from beabadoobee, the wildly infectious "Aprender A Amar" from Argentine singer Nathy Peluso, the mind-blowing virtuosity of pianist Yuja Wang and more.

Alt.Latino host Anamaria Sayre and NPR Music's Tom Huizenga join host Robin Hilton to share the tracks they can't stop playing this week.
